In this chapter, we learn more about the three "lords" of the poison sect: the "malicious venom" king, the "deep-sting" venom king, and the "blood-corrode" venom. We learn that the three lords are mysterious and unpredictable, and that they are responsible for the deaths of countless people. We also learn that they hold too much power to be supervised by the "censorate," and that there are "a lot of complicated relationships involved" between the three sects.
